APPLES AND THE GOLD COIN

I found an ancient gold coin.

one side is naked, bah!
The other side bears this word, lex

now I am considering eating it, the coin

in the old days,
people who could afford it were eating gold, yes

they still do it today.
Gold dust on a chocolate cake will keep you
healthy, or make you look beautiful (if that’s your wish)

now if I chew on that old gold coin,
I wonder…
maybe I’ll just get a little bit older?

oh!
What if I just had an apple instead?
